Please don’t feel obligated to follow your audience. Just because a lot of people have come from your skating videos does not mean you have to only post skating content!! I am super interested in your fitness and health videos as well. I came from the skating but I’m staying for everything else! I hope you are doing well 💖💖💖

Thank you for your kindness and your understanding 💖 I'm still finding the balance of vlogging it all and I honestly love sharing my roller skating journey! I will continue to share both that and my fitness/health videos, of course at my own pace! I appreciate you sticking around for all of my content 🥰

I feel like the skate every day challenge is not good for most people. It makes skating a chore, not fun. I saw a lot of people on ig start skating, progress very fast, post on ig everyday and then stop because they burned out. Thank you for being honest, love your videos.

I agree. I feel like some people are forced to skate everyday. I personally prefer only going roller skating when I feel good and want to have fun. I do respect everyone that tries or have tried to join this skate challenge. I could never do it...

awww Linda!! 🥺 You're such a light and so deserving of every opportunity that comes your way. I'm grateful that skating brought us together. It's only been a little over a month since we've known each other, but it already feels like a lifetime. So many more memories to come! love you xx

You being exactly yourself is the reason I followed you and you are my favourite roller skater to watch. You don’t need fancy tricks or tutorials!

I started skating in October 2020. I watched your documentary during my process and it was very motivational. It made me realize that i wasn't the only one falling and struggling. Skating definitely changed my life too. I actually learned how to build roller skates and am gonna turn that into a side business.

I started around the same time and I made a KZread channel about it as well. It’s not a Social media plug in I for me as well, skating has changed my life!

Everyone progresses different in skating. Some people start out more coordinated because they have dance or athletic backgrounds, etc. No 2 people are gonna progress at the exact same rate. Kudos to you Linda!

A lot of people count the day's that way, so they can see their own progress. That's what you should do it for. Do it for you, and only if it feels right. Even with all the positives and opportunities that came to you from rollerskating and your posts, you don't owe anybody in this community anything! It's fantastic you feel so grateful for this happening to you, it shows what a nice, warm, sincere person you are (and we love you for it), but the community did not do a lot. Please understand that, it came on your path because of your hard work, the honesty and vulnerability you put into it. ♡ If others compare themselves to you/someone else, they do that in all areas of their life where they feel uncomfortable or unsure about. It's not your responsibility to make then feel good about themself. It's theirs, most and foremost. If you want, you can just keep reacting in a kind way, if they are feeling insecure, to boost them. But it doesn't have to come from you constantly even if it's your channel. Don't feel like you let your followers down if you don't/can't. There are a lot of reactions on your posts and it's a shared responsibility to react kindly and be supportive of one another by all members of this community, and they do most of the time. So if you're not able to lift them up, someone else will/can. And if comments are nasty or disempowering, like you said, just let it be. So happy to hear you can. Please never feel pushed. If you do anything, do it for you! People that care about you want you to be free to discover and follow your path, what's good for you. They don't want you to get overwhelmed by things you think you owe others and for you to start doing things just to make them happy. They are most happy when you thrive, are in your element, are relaxt and happy. And you should not care as much for the ones that don't care for you. Follow your gut and your heart, lovely. Good luck with your new job. Enjoy! Lots of love!!♥️

Good for you Linda!! Keep doing you! Mental health is so much more important than being stressed over trying to post content about something that is supposed to be fun and freeing!! The more we learn about ourselves, the more we put things away in places where we will get to them when we WANT to get to them! Yayyy!! You’ve had a personal break through!!

A personal breakthrough describes exactly how I’ve felt this year! Thank you for your support and encouragement 🥺💗

Thank you so much for this. I started learning to skate a few months ago and your video was a huge part of inspiring me to keep going, and starting to make videos of my own progress just so I could look back on them and see how far I've come! I'm glad it brought me to your channel, and I'm excited to see what other stuff you like to do!

I love you linda! You are literally the most selfless , kindest skater/friend. i am so lucky to have gotten the chance to know you & skate with you 💕💕

We love you, Linda!!! Thank you for being so transparent and honest and, tbh, relatable!!! I think with creating a rollerskating IG, comes a lot of pressure to get new followers, to post every day, etc. When it should really just be about sharing our progress!

You are so genuine! Your heart shows even through a screen 🥺

Sending love, Linda! We'll be here excitedly waiting for your skating vlogs whenever you feel like posting one. I'm so glad that things are finally looking up for you. I can relate to that bit how rollerskating has changed your perspective about yourself and that part where you're your self's worst critique. It's so hard breaking that habit but we'll get there! We just have to remember to be kinder to ourselves. Enjoy your new career and cheers to self-betterment! So excited for you. Lastly, thank you for sharing all these. Go do what makes you happy and you. We're all here for you.

Aww I just want to give you a big hug through the screen. Your journey to self healing is just beginning! And skating was just the beginning! ❤️

I feel this spiritually sister!! We started because we love it.. never wanted an “audience” but things happen! People feel the same way with me posting fitness and health content but it’s OUR life we are allowed to live / share whatever we want ❤️ just know that you’re inspiring others and those who see your light will always be there! sending you love bb! ✨

We’re here for you girl! Whether it’s through roller skating or life content, we’ll support you along the way ❤️

Thank you for your transparency and your honesty! ❤️❤️❤️

Can def relate to many of the things you’ve said in this video 💛 It’s so so amazing to have watched your early videos and to have followed along with you thru the years online. So freakin exciting to see all the opportunities that are opening up for you through roller skating 🥳🥳🥳 and excited for wherever your journey takes you. So happy for you and proud of you, Linda!!

🥺 gooo Linda!!! Always rooting for you ♥️

THANK U for being SO GENUINE and SO REAL. It takes a lot for someone to open up like u did to a camera! Just know that behind ur camera, there’s real people that support u and think YOU’RE AMAZING! Don’t stop doing what makes you happy! 💜 you’ve inspired me to skate and this just motivates me to continue!! Sending u lots of love and great vibes ✨🌈☀️🌻🌼

😭❤ Love you Linda! You are such an inspiration and a sweet person. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Keep on being you and forget those haters!

Can’t wait for what’s to come for the rest of the year and so on 🤍

I also was SUPER inspired by your 1-30 days of skating! I loved how real you were about falling and getting back up! Laughing at yourself! You have such a pure and genuine spirit Linda! I am so grateful for you! For all the content you put out! I am super inspired by you! I am also in a journey where i’m not sure where i’m going or what i’m doing but i am hoping for the best to come! I am praying for a day job i love!!!!! I am so happy you found your passion & get to go to work & love it!!! Thank you for being you! Mad love and respect to you!

Very proud of you and yes! I watched all four videos lol! I also a few days ago watch Sophia cheng video and when you mentioned that you inspired her I was delighted! One thing I do have to add, I have taken a whole week break due to a fall and not wearing a helmet on my day 11 I had all other protective gear expect that but you are tight I had a choice and I sure learned my lesson. Well thank you for being so transparent and maybe one day I will join you into the sunset we will skate haha! Take care 💓

i’ve felt like you SOO many times. i stopped posting on my skate insta around february because everytime i skated felt the urge to vlog ALL of it. it became so draining that i quit roller skating for about 2 months. i’m starting back up again and have doubted coming back and sharing my progress on insta. it just feels so weird how we’re urged to post all of it and blog every single second. i’m so glad you are doing better and i know you will continue to grow

Your really amazing and an inspiration to others this has made me want to continue my rollerskating journey even more so thank you ❤️❤️

🛼💛 watching you smile through your falls and get back up and seeing your progress inspired me to get MY FIRST PAIR! i’m 44 and skated as a child at parties and school trips only. you reminded me of those happy moments and pushed me not to fear bustin’ my a$$ at my age. thank you 🙏🏽 for being honest…your fans will appreciate your pace and your choice of videos either way 💛🛼

You're the reason I purchased my roller skates :) Seeing you start learning was the little push I needed to give it a try. Your enjoyment of skating in those first 2 videos was shining right through the screen. I've matched them several times since they came out !

Thank you for sharing this! I was wondering how people had the energy and the time to be able to balance life with skating every day, so thank you for being so transparent! xx

LOVE that you brought up the challenge cause I sometimes wish how I should have starting recording my progress because I saw it was a “thing” but now I’m okay with not doing it cause just skating makes me happy and I love that you can share such gratitude and a vulnerability, so much respect to you and keep doing what makes you happy. -Steph

Hi Linda! I have been following you since the very beginning 🙂 and I'm here to say I'm so proud of you 😊💕

Ik how you feel. Skating gave me life. I started skating back in April 2021 your video is the first I saw(the first 30 day one) I used to cast your video on my tv and drill in my living room (I live in an apt and needless to say my downstairs neighbors hate me) I always tell people about “skate with Linda” cuz you are apart of my skate journey ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Never feel pushed to do thing u dont fiel comfy with, its ur choice abt what u want to do

Aww Linda! I teared up when you did! You're doing great.

Love this! I feel like a lot of people don’t talk about burnout and feeling obligated to post to please people. Keep doing you girl!

I just bought Roller Skates the other day because of your video after wanting to try skating for years. I'm glad it made a positive difference for you!

"Picking up roller skating was probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself..." THAT'S it. It's for yourself and no one else. The first time I roller skated, I cried ACTUAL tears of joy. It changed my life too. I have a very similar story about counting the days I practiced. I always felt like I needed to improve each time but progress is not linear. Once I let that go, I was able to have fun again and I realized that was the most important part for me. I love how genuine and honest you are about how you feel about the sport and it makes me so happy to hear that it has made such a positive outcome in your life :)

Hi Linda. As somebody who started a couple of months after you last year, in their childhood passion, I completely agree that social media has made skating almost a competitive hobby. Although I'm on IG, I don't like to post as I'm self critical of my progress and I haven't documented myself at all in my life. Those of us who like/love skating will continue to do it because we want to and can. I've put myself down when I can't get past a new move or solidifying one, when I know I shouldn't. Keep doing what you're doing because you know what's important for you. It's hard for us that work days to keep up with such a fulfilling sport but we find time when we can. I do my skating during my lunch hour and though it helps me relax, I feel rushed to do something I like. I also have had to do it alone this entire time, but I'll keep doing it because it makes me happy. 💜🌷

Aw how sweet and humble you are! I am very happy for you!

YOU DO YOU, appreciate any content you put out whether that be on YT or IG but you definitely don't have to. So happy that you're loving your new job at BB (SO COOL BTW) and thank you for bringing representation to the skating community for ppl like me

Your journey is a mirror for me and im going yo take ur message to yourself not to be hard on yourself. Because i really needed to hear that as well. Thanks.

Keep doing you, L! I started skating because of you 🤗

Hey Linda! Thank you for sharing your life journey with the world. 💜 I’m still growing and learning about myself at 51! Continue to do what YOU feel passionate about and it’s totally acceptable to put some of those things on the back shelf for a while -when the fire burns low for those pleasures in life! Evolve! That’s what we are supposed to be doing if we are to grow and become “our best selves” at that moment in time. I’ve roller skated since I was around 8 years old. Left it during my late teens and early 20’s then returned in my late 20’s then left if while I grew my family and returned after my kids were toddlers! That could be called a hobby or call it a passion.. it turned into a sport for me when I played rollerderby. Now it’s a hobby again. Park, path, dance.. Whatever you WANT it to be or to see it as. My career is not rollerskating and it never was intended to be. 🙂 Keep on keepin’ on Linda!

So proud of you

I'm sooooo inspired by YOU and your courage and Spirit of self enjoyment! Stay Blessed, keep shining 🌟✨

I love that you are not trying to be the best roller skater of the world. Just be your best in life. That’s why I follow you, to see a fellow human/skater enjoying their roller skating sessions and other things. So thank you for that! Never feel pressured by social media, it’s not real life. 😉 xoxo!

Aw, Linda. You are such an amazing woman. Live your life and don't worry about us. We have all you skate reference videos to watch, hehehe. FYI, your videos were the videos I watched (before any other roller skate videos) so I can learn to skate. I just got my skates and I can't wait to start practicing. Stay amazing, stay happy. XO❤

Hi Linda! I'm about to start roller skating and I've been so inspired by you already. Also, I run a KZread account with a single kind of viral video, and even that has added so much pressure on my life. We make videos on a variety of topics and we've gotten a couple comments like "What is this channel even about?" and it's really gotten to me. But when I found your channel with a variety of topics, I felt so much better. I realized it's FINE for us to make videos on a variety of topics as long as we're having fun and feeling fulfilled. The people who care about us will stay and everyone else can go find other content they enjoy. I can't even imagine how challenging this time has been for you with so many more eyes on you, but just know your hard work on all your videos and your honesty really means a lot. Thank you for sharing!

You're so inspiring & I think we can all relate to the struggles but agree that roller skating is awesomeeee too

You’ve done amazing💜💜

you are doing amazing!

Linda - it seems to me that you have not been GIVEN things, but that you have truly WORKED for what you have and you have picked yourself up and TRIED! Yes, it’s wonderful to be grateful and we all need to be grateful for good things that come to us. Just remember that YOU made these things happen for you - YOU put one skate in front of the other and YOU were determinded to learn and improve!! Don’t EVER lose site of what YOU have done for YOU and you are awesome!!! I just happened upon your videos today because I am a 67 year old woman who is trying to learn to skate. Thank you for your videos. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers out there. You do you.

Hi Linda just want to let you know that even though I've never known you well at all, I'm super proud of you and to see how far you've come since you've started (and yes I've been subscribed since high school days, don't remember if it was the same channel but I've been with you your entire journey) has impressed and inspired me in so many ways you couldn't even imagine. I'm excited to see what's to come. Sometimes more often than not, I hit my dark times in life as well, still do. But it's videos like this that never fail to pull me right out of that help me push forward and enjoy the process of trying to go where I want to in life. I get hard on myself a lot, but seeing this helps me snap out of that. Helps me have my own back and understand that things will be okay as long as I keep pushing forward and staying strong. staying positive. I appreciate you tons and genuinely looking forward to continue following you along in your journey. Thank you 🙏

Of course I couldn’t skate because life took a turn for the well…the worse…I know our lives are different but, I definitely felt a similar feeling that I didn’t believe in myself either. Lost in a job that constantly put me down and not much people believed in me because I didn’t believe in myself. I’m happy* you are in a better place, that you are doing you ❤️❤️❤️.

You are so great ♥️

I know exactly what you are talking about. Today I tried for the first time roller skating, and I was so so scare for no reason than anxiety and I thought oh great another thing for me to fail, another thing I suck so much, and my bf tried to tough love me to do it, and I started to cry cs I felt like I was failing him too. I told him to go away and practice his own thing (roller blades) and I went to a isolated place and gave my first walk. It was awful cs I didn't do it properly and I forgot all the things I read and watched, but I did it, I came home knowing I gave my first step. Its waaay more than just a hobby, its proving to yourself than you can do stuff that you are terrified of doing but want to do so much. You were the first person who made this look human, cs we saw you fail and we felt empathy. u did something for us, tk u for that. sending awesome vibes from Brazil.

I love your videos. I'm a professional roller skater so of course it's great to see your progression but don't burn yourself out sister fr Peace and love ✌❤

I loved seeing your progress as a fellow beginner. But I wasn't skating on a daily basis because I still have responsibilities I can't take time off for. And that's ok! We're adults and part of being an adult is knowing how to distribute our time efficiently. I know what it's like to get caught up in a hobby and fizzle out because it's a regular occurrence with my ADHD. It's a common mentality that we have to be really good at something, whatever hobby we take on, so we can be valued for our interests. (Rather capitalistic honestly) But I'm not doing this hobby for others. This is for myself. So I'm going to do as much as I feel comfortable doing and as long as I want to because this is how I relax. I'm so happy you were able to grow confidence and happiness with skating. I wish you the best!

We ask YOU for tutorials because you are not experienced, you are yet starting like us and we want to see how someone who is LIKE US is figuring it out 🥰 Edit: also if you aren’t into anymore, totally do you!

Look, you got me emotional when you teared up! I have an 18 year old daughter. I have seen her get teared up over similar things. I hope you feel better. I hope you realize that you don't have to be at any certain point in time, whether by age or date, for any anything you are working on (except at work, there are deadlines at work). You will/should move through this life at the pace that is comfortable for you and brings you contentment. Also, sometimes all you should do is live and not focus only on progress and achievements and goals. Sometimes it's just fine to go out and enjoy the little things. Go get that taco! Go skate for fun, not progress! Have a nice day!

I just stopped counting my skate days myself. I just say "not that long" or "a couple months ago". I stopped for similar reasons. It's definitely a lot less pressure to be good when I stopped counting the days.

I totally understand your feeling with having to post all the time to stay relevant. Its one of the reasons im scared about if i become popular on social media. i only have around 3k followers on IG and i still find it overwhelming every now and then, I can't imagine having to deal with 18K followers. Do take breaks from social media in general though, i found it so refreshing to focus on things outside of my work or main hobbies

💖💖💖

Im watching to learn from another beginner. Putting on skates after not using them for almost 20 years has been insane. Im using 3 wheel blades too. You can try on some new /different skates if you want to see if it makes you get back into it again. The 3 wheels really go over bumps easier and theyre faster. J need to learn to stop different ways now, theyre a little scarey. Keep up the channel! Vlogs are good too

Hi Linda, we follow each other on the gram, and I’m honestly glad you made this video. I feel like it’s very triggering when you have mental health issues, and your already hard on yourself ( me). I just came off of a very long hiatus from social media because of my mental health. So again, thank you. And also thank you for not being fake and staying true to yourself. I don’t like what moxi brand has done with that 365 day challenge.

I may not know how you feel but I do know you seem upset and i hope it gets better
